Program Background:
The Registries Evolution branch within Service Alberta and Red Tape reduction (SARTR) in partnership with Digital Design and Delivery division of Technology and Innovation (TI) are leading the modernization efforts for the Motor Vehicle Registry and Land Titles Registry.
Motor Vehicles (MV) Registry Program Overview:
Motor vehicle services (Motor Vehicles Registry) enables registry agents to provide Albertans with the ability to register a motor vehicle, obtain a driver’s licence or identification card, obtain documents for driving history through the Motor Vehicle System (MOVES), and enables the movement of people and goods that drive economic growth. The Registrar of MV is a shared responsibility between SARTR and Transportation and Economic Corridors (TEC). MV includes identity management, vehicle registration, driver licensing, with services provided to Albertans through the Registry Agent Network (RAN). Both Ministries rely on MOVES to support business delivery that includes roadside Law Enforcement, administration of Alberta’s impaired driving framework, and medical fitness for drivers. MOVES will be replaced with an existing system from another jurisdiction, through a government-government agreement. The new system will require changes and alignment to Alberta’s needs and standards. There will be a year of requirements gathering, followed by engaging a vendor for the implementation of the new system.
Land Titles Registry Program Overview:
The Land Titles Act provides the legislative framework for the department to register land related documents that both create and terminate legal rights in property. The land registration system used in Alberta is based on the Torrens System of land registration and operates under the legislative authority of the Land Titles Act. Under this system, the Government of Alberta has custody of all original titles, documents and plans and has the legal responsibility for the validity and security of all registered land title information. Working closely with the Land Titles Office, Registries Evolution is helping to identify opportunities to redesign, innovate and modernize the Land Titles Registry with a focus on moving away from paper-based systems, improving client service, and achieving better user experiences.
